When again to reckon you do begin,
Recollect there’s a farthing a week for pins,
To make things right my best I’ve tried,
That’s economy can’t be denied.
Dear wife, said he, I’m satisfied,
Out of fifteen shillings a week, sir.
So you women all the kingdom through,
To you this might appear quite new,
Just see if you the same can do,
With fifteen shillings a week, sir.
